If someone is watching the bootup then couldn't they just as easily boot 
from a floppy or CD or hold down alt+shift during boot and type '<image> 
init=/bin/sh'?  Though I guess you could disable booting from anything 
but the harddrive and password protect the bios and lilo...  Try taking 
out 'prompt' or 'timeout=...' from lilo.conf.  I also have 
delay=10[==1sec] and you could try delay=0.  I have managed to get rid 
of the prompt, but I forget how exactly.  I was also never able to 
figure out what you could do with it anyway.
